OCTOBER – SAFEGUARDING MONTH IN THE ARCHDIOCESE

Safeguarding month of October – The Safeguarding Committee felt that our Safeguarding Month should reflect and remind ourselves of Pope Francis vision, teaching and commitment to ensuring our Churches are a safe place for both children and vulnerable adults.

Sunday 5th October – Safeguarding. Our generation must show that it can rise to the promise found in each child and young person when we know how to give them space. This means that we have to create the material and spiritual conditions for their full development, to give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education to be everything they can be; to pass on to them lasting values that make life worth living; to give them a transcendent horizon for their thirst for authentic happiness and their creativity for the good; to give them the legacy of a world worthy of human life; and to awaken in them their greatest potential as builders of their own destiny, sharing responsibility for the future of everyone. If we can do all this today, we anticipate the future that enters the world through the window of the young. Pope Francis (2013).
